Mount Nelson hotel is another fantastic Orient Express property. The location is very convenient, across the street from the gardens and the Museum mile.

We stayed in the Mount Nelson for a 5 night stay in 2 interconnecting rooms as we travelled as a family ( 2 adults and 2 children, aged 8 and 10). The rooms were not the most beautiful we stayed in, but they were clean and comfortable.We had a lovely balcony with a view. The hotel and the staff are... More

I just had the pleasure to stay at the Mount Nelson for 3 days and really enjoyed it. I stayed in one of the renovated rooms in the annex, and they are beautiful. What I especially enjoyed is the garden. From the small balcony of my room, I could enjoy it, and at night, the lights, the palm trees, the... More

Having always stayed in rented villas by the beach in Cape Town I was sceptical about going to a hotel in the middle of town but my fiancé and I were blown away by the hotel. From arrival to departure, the staff were magnificent and the quality of the hotel unquestionable. We would definitely return.
